The Chicago Bears have officially hit rock bottom. No, it wasn’t getting walloped 41-25 by the Green Bay Packers. It was blowing a 10-point lead and surrendering 34 points to the lowly Detroit Lions that finally did the trick.
Chicago wasted a 30-point effort by its offense to blow a fourth-quarter lead to a team that just fired its head coach and general manager. The Bears defense allowed 34 points and 460 yards to a depleted Lions offense, and it shouldn’t have even come down to the point where a Mitchell Trubisky fumble inside the Bears 10-yard line decided the game.
If Matt Nagy, Ryan Pace and Ted Phillips’ jobs weren’t in jeopardy following that loss to the Packers, they certainly are now.
